Rafting: The Basics

  White water rafting is an activity wherein an individual or a group maneuvers through the river usually using their paddles while inflatable boats. Rafting or whitewater rafting is done as a hobby itself or as means of going through the river while enjoying the surroundings.

 Rivers are classified based on the challenges such as rocks, waves and the requirement for maneuver. There are six classes wherein Class Six is the most dangerous and never recommended for anyone while Class One is a type of river that provides little to no waves. No skills and small amounts of maneuvering are needed for class one. As the class increases, the danger also increases which requires more skills and experience for rafting.

Six Classes: 

• Class 1.... has manageable rough areas which require no skill level.
• Class 2.....requires maneuvering but still good enough for beginners.
• Class 3.... is already rough for first time rafters since advanced paddling skills are required.
• Class 4.... has stronger waves, rocks and possible drops which is only ideal for experienced rafters.
• Class 5..... features large rocks, stronger waves and deep drops. Only rafters with advanced experience and skills should consider going through this class.
• Class 6..... is very dangerous and could be fatal. Even with great skill and experience, the waters and condition is very dangerous.
